EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a fishy feast! This Cape Gannet knows how to make a splash when it comes to mealtime. Diving underwater with precision, this adult bird is caught in the act as it feeds on a 'baitball' school of small bait fish off the coast of Port St. Johns in South Africa's breathtaking Wild Coast. With its wings spread wide and eyes locked on its prey, this gannet showcases its incredible hunting skills. The clear blue waters provide the perfect backdrop for this moment captured by photographer Colin Marshall. Living up to its reputation as an expert predator, this gannet plunges into the depths of the ocean to catch its next meal. As part of a larger group, these birds work together to corral and devour their tasty treats. It's teamwork at its finest! The Eastern Cape province is known for its abundant marine life and stunning coastal landscapes, making it an ideal habitat for these graceful seabirds. With their sleek bodies and sharp beaks, they are perfectly adapted for life both above and below water. So next time you're out exploring South Africa's beautiful coastline, keep your eyes peeled for these impressive aerial acrobats. Who knows? You might just witness another epic dive-bombing display from one of nature's most skilled hunters.
